May Days....

Hurray hurray the first of May... blossoms , bees and sunny days...
Amazingly it is the 5th week of the spring classes ; everyone is painting beauteously! 

 Watercolour 3 are beginning the portrait section of classes... drawing from 'mannequins' and photos to render an idealized face in a traditional manner. Their first portraits are impressive!
The Beginning Watercolorists are lifting out paint to bring back light and add form, and using masking liquid, or frisket, to preserve whites.
The Watercolour 4  group is finishing up their large florals and will try working on Yupo paper next week. 
The Acrylic Beginners are finishing up landscapes and will begin a closeup floral on a square format canvas to continue practicing technique next week.
